In Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi's view, all things have their opposites, all things are interconnected, all things are developing and changing, all things are capable of transforming into each other, all things are both absolute and relative, there is a relative in the absolute, and there is an absolute in the relative, and the natural world and the human society are regarded as a unified whole, and they seek to observe and analyze these phenomena from the relative independence and interconnectedness of the whole. analyze these phenomena from the relative independence and interconnectedness of the whole. The University says: "In ancient times, those who wished to pacify the world first ruled their country; those who wished to rule their country first united their families; those who wished to unite their families first cultivated their bodies; those who wished to cultivate their bodies first rectified their minds; those who wished to rectify their minds first honored their intentions; and those who wished to rectify their intentions first attained their knowledge. Knowledge and then sincere intention, sincere intention and then the heart is correct, the heart is correct and then body repair, body repair and then Qi family, family Qi and then the country rule, the country rule and then the world." This passage is more comprehensive, complete and systematic expression of the Confucian view of the fundamental meaning and purpose of life, that people should be perfected on the basis of their own perfect society, but also in the process of perfecting society to improve themselves, never-ending.

3. A unique sense of aesthetics and humanism

Traditional Chinese culture has made brilliant achievements in all aspects of literature and art, and is one of the most important and valuable treasures of all human culture. Chinese people have always liked to express their thoughts and feelings in the form of poetry, the origin of which can be traced back to the era of Emperor Shun before the Book of Poetry, and this tradition has lasted for thousands of years throughout China's history: the Book of Poetry, with its characteristic wisdom of scourging social evils and aspiring for a better life, scrutinizes the thoughts and feelings of people in different situations; the Book of Chorus, especially the famous compositions of the book, such as the Li Sao, is the most important and valuable treasure in the patriotism of the Chinese nation. Chusi, especially its famous pieces such as Li Sao, is the ancient song of Chinese patriotism, which expresses the spirit of tenacious struggle to care for the people, love the motherland, pursue the ideals and transform the reality. Since then, there have also been several climaxes in the development of literature and art, such as Han Fu, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan dynasty music and Ming dynasty novels, which have created a colorful, brilliant and permanent charm of literature and art, and in its unique way, inculcated and nurtured the unique humanistic qualities of the Chinese people and the national spirit.

Third, the traditional culture of moral education and socialist moral construction

China's traditional moral norms, both today and in the future are of high value. With the development of market economy, not only in our country, but also in countries all over the world, the problem of the decline of the moral quality of human beings has arisen, which is the result of the negative impact of the market economy. The market economy has liberated people's initiative and enthusiasm and greatly contributed to the increase of wealth, but at the same time, it has given full play to people's egoism and greedy desires, thus giving rise to violent conflicts over traditional morality and a worldwide decline in moral standards. Therefore, in the construction of morality, to promote the excellent traditional morality, inhibit the expansion of human egoism and greed to achieve self-restraint and benefit others, is a problem to be solved.

In order to establish morality compatible with the socialist market economy, it is absolutely impossible to detach from the cultural traditions of one's own people. Any culture has inheritance and innovation. The unity of ethnicity and epoch is the universal law of the development of all national cultures. With the development of the socialist market economy, the construction of our national morality must be innovative and development on the basis of inheritance, to start from the practical, emancipate the mind, to educate people with practical and effective good moral norms, starting from dolls, and constantly educate the outlook on life, moral values, and cultivate high-quality talents suitable for the needs of the 21st century.
